I have tried several times to tick the enable system restore box in the troubleshooting
tab and do a immediate restart to get rid of the old _RESTORE data (currently 6.5gb),
then I do another restart as enable system restore box is now blank again. After
the clean restart, _RESTORE still contains 6.5gb. I was under the impression that
this was the cycle you performed to clean out _RESTORE. Unticked the show hidden
files as you indicated. Anyways, looked at the site you provided for msg8. Searched
and Found Base2.cab. It does not contain a WIN_17.cab file. But a separate search
on that name turns one up all by itself. It contains the stmgr.exe file we've been
talking about. Not worrying about why it is separate right now, so I dragged it to
the desktop as you suggested successfully. Thought I had it made!! Went to next step
which is open the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RESTORE file and got no file found....Needless
to say, couldn't put stmgr.exe into it. So I guess I need to know how I get that
file back or create it. Seems like I'm getting in deeper and deeper. I am leaving
the stmgr.exe file I got on the desktop where it is until hopefully all problems
resolved. Appreciate your help, I retired a few years ago as a mainframe systems
programmer (a supposed DB2 wizard) so I know the evils of being the on-call person
who is suppose to have all the answers. Only problem is, I'm not real familiar with
PC's as you can probably tell. Looks like I have just enough knowledge to hurt myself.
I will follow along whatever path you provide.Thanks Mike.
